Marsch has fully leaned into his role north of the border, even singing the national anthem before kick-off. Despite his Wisconsin roots and past role as a USMNT assistant, he feels a deep connection to the values of his current squad.
“Look, I am American and I’m proud to be American but I do think that the ideals and the characteristics of Canadian people fit me really well,” the 52-year-old explained. “They value kindness, they value generosity. I think it’s a country that is very welcoming to outsiders, appreciates you for the things you do more than the things you say. And sometimes I know that Americans… we get a certain rap for being boisterous, for being arrogant, for being outwardly vocal. And I know that in many ways that does describe me and people, or at least people love to describe me that way. But again, I don’t give a sh*t.”
